On the Confederate side are papers
from Colonel W. P. Johnston and Gen.
eral G. T. Beauregard, the first named
giving a graphic account of General AL

One of the most valuable features of
this number is a summary of
the composition, strength and losses of
the two contending forces, and giving as

be preserved, for the true history of, not
only Shiloh but of the war, must be
written by future historian unbiased by
the preludices of this generation.

Mr. Murat Halstead, in an article on
lulIif ;ation, declares and would prove by
ables showing the race vote, that in the
south the Democratic party has virtually

and also expresses a fear that, in
his event, these amendments will be de- |
Jared invalid.
